Montrose1100 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I feel bad for the condos on the lower half of the building. Really only the top two floors will have good views. Maybe the corner balconies on the lower floors have better views up and down Caroline. I'm happy to see these type of projects fill in the inner loop.

Purdueenginerd Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The lower floors will probably be cheaper, which in my opinion, is good. Not everyone can afford a 300k condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surge Homes Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The lower two floors are parking with four stories of condos above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barracuda Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I've always wondered what would happen to these boxed-in lots. I hope the tide is shifting away from town homes to higher density developments like this in Midtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 You can't get information like this anywhere but HAIF. Straight from the developer. Welcome to the site and hope you enjoy critiques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the prices that low on something like this? I seriously doubt their 1b/1b units go for below 350k. Edit: I've registered and will check it out later.

Montrose1100 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Actually that's a pretty small one.. Damn I'm funny The prices aren't too bad on the bigger units. At lot less then what is currently on the market (Apart from their bigger units Downtown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple addict Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 anyone know how many units there are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surge Homes Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The exact number of units hasn't been determined yet. We are testing the idea of condos or single-family homes on our website to see which type of property there is more interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are testing the idea of condos or single-family homes on our website to see which type of property there is more interest in. The condos are actually very nicely priced, the HOA fees aren't too shabby either. The $15,000 extra parking spot is a big frown from me. Will there be an amenities if they are built? I saw the pool for the Downtown units, but not on the Museum District or Midtown project. I'm super anxious to buy something, but I should probably be smart and not buy at the top of the market. That, and I plan to run away to New York City or Germany in 3 years. But there is also rental potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I hope surge homes catches on and buys something in first ward. So much opportunity with the warehouses selling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Its refreshing to see a developer take the time to respond to questions and concerns. I noticed a response on Swamplot to concerns about signage and they took the sign down almost overnight once it was brought to their attention that it was in the bike right of way. I'm glad they are trying to play fair. I know some could care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dealt with them quite a few years ago when they built the Vistas in Midtown - I was going to buy one, but they had some construction delays that I couldn't wait for.....they were good to work with back then...

Urbannizer Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 This one is more likely to be townhomes now. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/02/houston-developer-crowdsources-plans-for-new.html?page=2 At Surge Homes' Museum District location, the developer was planning to build a six-story, 55-unit condominium project on Caroline Street. However, buyers wanted townhomes and single-family homes on the site instead, again because of the walkability of the neighborhood, Conrad said.

Luminare Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 yeah because more townhomes is whats going to set your development apart from the pack. This Surge Homes developer seems to be run by nothing but focus groups. Chilling..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdueenginerd Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Buyers wanted townhomes because of the walkability of the neighborhood? Dont condos also get you walkability? I dont get that logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 This is right across from the Oaks at Caroline. Having seen the site first hand, this is not surprising. It seemed too small for condos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
